- I might want to be a balloon. I could easily float for miles and see what everyone is up to. Oh wait, I would eventually lose air and I might land somewhere altogether undesirable.
- Perhaps a fish. I could swim and swim, and hang out with cool aquatic life for a bit. Oh wait, I would no doubt be eaten by a fish bigger and meaner than me.
- A cat maybe? I could sleep all day and humans would wait on me endlessly and I'll simply meow when I want something, like ringing a bell. Scratch that (no pun intended). The lack of opposable thumbs would leave me feeling as though I have no control over my own destiny.
- I think I will just be be me today.
One of my favorite songs ever: Tree Hugger by Kimya Dawson - all about being someone else...
